What To Expect
Trace the neighborhood's evolution from a horse racing track to a cultural hub on this self-guided audio tour. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through La Condesa, Mexico City.
La Condesa holds up a mirror to important architectural movements from the neighborhood’s development in the 1900s, at a moment when the country was struggling to redefine its identity.
On this walking tour with artist and professor Julio Pastor, you’ll discover the neighborhood’s soul as you walk in the footsteps of the architects who built it, explore multiple architectural styles, and peer into busy cafes.
As you wander through streets adorned with Mayan arches and Art Deco flourishes, you’ll understand how earthquakes have shaped the landscape, sparked architectural innovation, and created societal shifts, transforming Condesa into an enclave for artists and a beacon of urban renewal.
